Leatherworking & Mixed Media Artist
Rachel Burger has been working with leather for over eight years, both in a functional/crafting capacity and as a medium for fine art, often blending these two together. She studied at Appalachian State University obtaining a degree with a major in history and minor in art.
She has explored using a variety of mixed mediums with leather as her go-to, but has also recently purchased and runs Ballantyne Framing & Art, a New Bern staple for custom framing over 36 years.
Her work is currently on display at her shop and sometimes is displayed in shows at the Bank of the Arts.
